Two Llantwit Major players - and their boss - are among the nominees in the Cymru South's monthly awards.

Manager Ben Stait has guided Llantwit up to fifth in the table - with the Windmill Lane club unbeaten in their last six league games.

Stait is up for the manager of the month award for February, which saw Major beat both Caerau Ely and Penrhiwceiber Rangers 4-2, before capping off a perfect month with a 2-1 win over Cwmbran Celtic.

Also nominated are Trefelin's Andy Hill and Pontypridd United's Andy Whittington.

The Cymru South's player of the month award sees Llantwit provide two out of the four nominees - namely Ioan Emmanuel and Matty Kimmins.

Midfielder Emmanuel - who played every minute of Major's three games in February - scored a quick fire brace in the win over Penrhiwceiber before grabbing the winner against Cwmbran Celtic a week later.

Belgian marksman Kimmins has scored nine league goals this season, struck in all three wins and also set up two further goals during the win over Caerau Ely.

The Llantwit pair face tough competition for the award from Cwmbran Celtic skipper Andrew Larcombe and Trefelin veteran Lee Trundle.

As usual, a fans vote on social media and a league & independent voting panel will decide the winners.
